Lol, he hasn't even started a civil war yet.

Literally nothing has happened

People are talking, they're mad, but nothing has happened

We've seen the rubber band get pulled and it's snapping back into place

The real question is whether or not we're going to actually get people to actually learn about why this was an inevitable act

I thought the Arab Spring taught us that Social Media isn't the be all and end all. Mass media was hyping the Arab Spring as the first "social media revolution", Mubarak was ousted, but the Army took over and then Morsi. Occupy Wall Street was the biggest leftist movement in America, maybe this will ignite something similar, but this time for fucks sakes, don't let another Dem sheepdog like Sanders or AOC lead the masses back to the Dems.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but idk how organic the Arab spring really was. There’s US spooks up and down the social media companies.
